Cupcake Stand Makes a Great Jewelry Holder

jewelry box cupcake stand All of my jewelry is scattered among three jewelry boxes and a necklace stand. The necklace stand is organized...well, semi-organized, but the boxes are a clutter of costume earrings, pins, and bracelets that I hardly wear because it takes too much time to find what I'm looking for.

This month's issue of InStyle, with Salma Hayek on the cover, has a clever idea to get you to think outside the box...literally. Use a cupcake stand to hold your jewelry!

If you like the one seen in InStyle, it's the Multi Color Koziol Babell Cake Stand from The Conron Shop ($42).

You can probably find some really great ones in thrift and vintage stores. I found this Vintage Three Tiered Serving Plate Stand from HelloVictory on Etsy ($27).

And I remembered the cupcake stand Cafe Sheri featured in Home & Garden Buzz -- the one from Target. Orla Kiely Melamine 2-Tier Tray ($19.99) looks vintage and sure would look cute with jewelry on it.

Great idea, don't you think?
